[QUOTE="bdeternv, post: 2896199, member: 123292"] I‘m not exactly sure, but I shot 5 minimum charge weight sighting in bullets, and 10 round ladder test. I did the standard barrel break in cleanings. Shoot-clean for first 5 shots then clean after 3 shots until ladder finished. The ladder showed relatively tight shot placement. I went back with 5 sets of 3 shot charges to check for a powder charge. I noticed that my groups were very erratic (i know that some will/should be…). I cleaned the rifle when I got home in my usual manner per Bore Tech‘s recommendations. I bought a bore scope because I wasn’t sure what was going on, and I found this. Bore Tech Eliminator has always done great for me or I thought so at least, so I went back and scoped 4 other rifles of mine to verify my cleaning skills and found little copper fouling in them. Long story short, 30 shots with 8 cleanings focused on first 15 shots and 1 cleaning after 30 shots total. Btw, Bore Tech copper cleaner was absolutely useless against this copper. Eliminator cut more than the copper cleaner, but the best results of the three were the Montana X-Treme copper killer. [/QUOTE]
